Poll question: How would you describe your interest/obsession at DU
Personally, I joined a team and support that team whether they win/lose/fuck up. I come here to hang out with other team members and cheer them on.

What is your real interest for being involved in this process that explodes in anger, passion and hilarity all over DU?

4. me too
"My Party/Politician/Country right or wrong" is pointless at best, and incredibly destructive at worst.

2. Other: I'm just here for the beer and girls.
Just kidding. But it is a combination of several of your answers. Interested in politics, wanting to hang out with the good team, for fun, etc.

3. Totally appropriate for my age and gender
Not to mention my anti-duck torturing proclivities.

6. Education, current events
DU'ers like Octafish, PlaidAdder, kpete, madfloridian, grantcart and many others (my memory sucks or I'd list a few dozen more names) provide what I consider to be a first class public service with their informative threads and thoughtful replies.

Of course there are plenty of rants and emotional or immature or silly posts, but no one forces me to focus on those, so... I don't :D

8. I'm just a life long liberal/lefty who is happy to be around others of my kind.
I spent many years reading posts before joining.

9. I learn through debate. DU is tolerant of my love for violent imagery.
A lot of people here are pretty funny. I see news articles here that I don't see elsewhere. I think DU is great.

Overall though, DU has pretty bad taste in music. :P

13. Other.
I wander if when I hear anyone's taking a big, steaming dump all over the Horrible Homos® who are being so ungrateful for the moldy crumbs being thrown from The Adults Table.

My "real interest" used to be blind support of the Democratic Party.
